I just don't think it's worth adding right now. I'd prefer to avoid platform-specific code dealing with things like decompression directly wherever possible anyway (things like that tend to be a headache for TOCTOU safety). It would be best if you could just use cbfs_boot_load_file(() for this but I guess the adding to CBMEM doesn't work with that. Maybe we should have a cbfs_load_to_cbmem(name, cbmem_id) or something like that. Haven't fully thought through all the use cases yet.
See the 2 new patches prior to this original set. This one we can abandon.
